I would like to see the Silmarillion somehow adapted for film. Always had a preference for the grandeur of the first age. No idea how that much high level material could be put into film format mind. Agree absolutely with everything JimJam said about the original trilogy and the hobbit films btw.

Strontium dog – always my favourite 2000ad strip (my first prog purchase was at the beginning of “the Killing” which I absolutely loved).

A sequel to the 2012 Judge Dredd – but this time with sufficient budget to create a more futuristic environment (opening sequence with dredd chasing perps in a van could have been set in the 1970s).

ABC warriors?

Agree on Halo Jones – done in the idiom of the original bladerunner including the voiceover.

Thanks JimJam, I might get around to seeing if I can watch it at some point as the trailer looked pretty good.

Same I’ve found with a lot of stuff though, as a ‘strand alone’ film they can be pretty good, but compared to source material are not great (controversial but I think that about GoT, Hannibal Rising etc)

Well not sure if it’s been mentioned recently but the prospects are looking good for this one

THR reports that Amazon will partner with British screenwriter Dennis Kelly (who created the critically acclaimed Channel 4 series Utopia), and that should the scripts for the series work out, it will order it directly to a series.

…I think some of the WW2 epics should be remade. Lots of the Alastair McLean films, Dirty Dozen, A Bridge too Far, Kelly’s Heroes (gasp!)…

No not at all. Some classics still hold up but many could be improved upon, since they are based on historic events there’s no “definitive” film. Dirty Dozen could definitley be remade as well (caveat that Hollywood sucks). I had high hopes for Inglorious Basterds way back when the original draft was essentially a grouping of old Hollywood action heroes, eg a WW2 version of the Expendables directed by Tarantino, with a better cast.

Kellys Heroes though, not so much. It was of it’s time and in my opinion the years have not been kind to it. I think modern audiences understanding of WW2 and portrayal in film would make Kellys Heroes if not irrelevant, at least badly out of step.

The Elric saga would make an excellent project. In fact a good chunk of Moorcock’s back catalogue would be fine fodder for filming. “The Warhound and the World’s Pain”, “The Ice Schooner” and the Oswald Bastable series “The Warlord of the Air”, “The Land Leviathon” and “The Steel Tsar” for starters.

Why would you want that dross made to film? I’ve read the 1st two chronicals, as my parents thought I liked the series, and I made the mistake of buying the Gap series, as it ‘sounded’ like the kind ot thing I’d enjoy, and he did manage to wirte The Mirror of Her Dreams & A Man Rides Through. Donaldson has an unhealthy focus on rape<i>.</i>

Make any of the John Scalzi sci-fi, doesn’t matter which, any of them.

How about a film about a man with no short term memory where he has to write down clues to his last days all over his body in order to piece together events leading up to the rape and murder of his girlfriend?

Hang on one memento, that sounds awful. I think someone has invaded your dreams and subconsciously made you type that.

How about this one – a film about a man with no short term memory where he has to write down clues to his last days all over his body in order to piece together events leading up to the rape and murder of his girlfriend?
